Can the tube liner of a SharkBite Fitting be removed?

Yes. The tube liner can be easily removed by pulling it past the o-ring, then with the aid of the SharkBite disassembly clip or disconnect tongs, the Tube Support Liner can drop out of the fitting as it can move freely past the grab ring. Needle nosed pliers may be used to pull the Tube Suport Liner out. NOTE: The tube liner is essential for use with PEX Tubing and cannot be removed if you are using SharkBite fittings with PEX.
